The pieces of a tremendous Wipeout game are present in 2048, but it's hard to look past the game's annoying interface, wicked-long load screens, and underwhelming sense of speed.

The Vita version of Rayman: Origins may lack a few of the mechanical touches of its console brethren, but in terms of sheer beauty and fun, little is lost in translation.

Super Stardust Delta delivers frantic action and flashy effects at a nice, downloadable price.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss feels like a made-for-cable version of a proper, big-screen Uncharted adventure.

The framework of Monolith's new multiplayer shooter might not be wildly original, but its nonsensical humor sure is.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning creates an interesting world and gives you good combat options, but the whole thing overstays its welcome a bit.

Digital Extremes ably picks up where Starbreeze left off, crafting a satisfyingly brutal adventure that only rarely loses its way.

NeverDead's one-note dismemberment gimmick wears out its welcome long before you reach the game's miserable conclusion.

Genkibowl VII is a bad deal on its own and a very disappointing update for Saints Row season pass holders.

Crafting irradiated shotguns to better dispatch the undead is a great idea, but clunky combat and a lack of mission variety keep this downloadable shooter from realizing its potential.

Trine 2 might be one of the prettiest games ever made, and it makes some small but important additions to its predecessor's formula, too.

This game is practically a war crime.

Skylanders is probably aimed at kids, but whatever. I am a legal adult who can drink, buy pornography, rent a car, and vote... and I think it's still pretty cool.

The Run starts with an incredible idea for a racing game, but everything surrounding this year's Need for Speed feels like a cross-country calamity.

Super Mario 3D Land wastes a bit of time up front with some levels that are a little too basic, but once it gets going, it reveals some terrific moments that make the 3DS make sense.

For mostly better and only a little bit worse, Skyward Sword is the best Zelda game in years, and makes a strong case for motion controls when done right.
